When we signed Scout up for Chinese, we were told that his English would suffer for a few years, but that it would even out, and be great again by third grade. Well, it is true…his English suffered. Every standardized test score he has gotten up until now have been a bit disappointing. There have been many times where I thought, “Why in the world did I put my kids in Mandarin?”. There have been frustrating weeks and months. But today, when I got the mail, and got his scores from the end of third grade, I was ecstatic!
He got in the top levels of scoring in both English, and math!

I’m not exhaling yet, but I am really happy to see that what we heard about third grade being the year of catching up, has proved to be true in our case!
Thank goodness!
